No, I'm talking about the downloadable MP3's. My IPOD software seems to force the file into my quicktime program. From there, it won't transfer into a file that can be imported to my IPOD. Any suggestions?

read the IPOD link in my prior message. I go through some step by step examples that may be helpful. I think you're just clicking on the mp3 song files (thus opening in Qtime to simply play). Instead you need to right click and then save to file. Then add the files to your itunes library. Then the next time you sync you'll be in good shape....

to be clearer: Don't use the itunes program at all in the download process. Download the mp3 files (by right clicking, save as) to a place on your harddrive. THEN, open ITUNES and add these files to your library...

no on FLAC/SHN. Not sure on WAV files themselves. There is also an apple lossess codec similar to Flac/Shn that the IPOD does play (use ITUNES to create such files). In my case, I simply use the VBR.mp3 files for the ipod and use the lossless for other purposes.

A whole concert might fill up a IPOD hard drive if it played WAV files in many cases. Some shows won't even fit making the whole idea self-defeating. Free NERO plugins can be used to convert files into Appple's Aiff or MP-4/AAC formats. Get them at www.afterdawn.com
